Guide to Sourcing the Best Mineral Makeup
If you’re looking for the best mineral make up, you may be in for a bit of a challenge. There are so many factors and so many companies choose from nowadays, that it can be difficult to narrow down the selection, and find which company and which products are best suited to you and your needs. This article will help you to decipher the ingredients lists and help you discover the best mineral make up products for you.
The ingredients list should be clearly marked on the product packaging, and/or on the website of the natural cosmetics company that you’re looking at. For those with sensitive skin or allergies, be sure to avoid products that include ingredients such as bismuth oxychloride, cornstarch, talc, and carmine colorant, as these have been shown to sometimes inflict minor to moderate irritation to the skin. While these ingredients are not necessarily harmful, it easy to find mineral makeup brands that do not use these ingredients, making their products more gentle for your skin, and more compatible with the majority of skin types.
One other thing to consider is whether or not the mineral make up company is showing a “cruelty free” logo from PETA on their site. Companies with this logo do not test their products on animals. “Cruelty free” products are not necessarily vegan-friendly and may still contain animal by-products. Check the ingredients lists if you need or want to avoid certain ingredients.
The best mineral makeup will use as few ingredients as possible - with no artificial or synthetic pigments. Pigments that are all natural include micas, iron oxides, ultramarines, and manganese violet pigments. FD&C dyes are not all natural and can be slightly irritating to people who have extremely sensitive skin or certain skin-related allergies.
You’ll be on your way to finding natural looking makeup with a little research and these tips. You’ll discover a natural-looking, more beautiful version of yourself with quality mineral makeup products.
